For cheese I can understand, but pork is pork. How can you call a non-pig product pork?

Cheese is as specific as pork as far as constituent ingredients.

You're just attempting to replicate the sensory experience. Sweetness, texture, moisture, etc. As in, say, beef vs pork barbecue. Beef vs pork steak.

Jackfruit probably mimics pork better than beef - not all substitutions are equivalent.
